K.A. Juman-Yassin

President of the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA) of, K Juman-Yassin has put his guard up to the social media jabs thrown by amateur standout Keevin Allicock.

Allicock was recently critical of the GOA and the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) in a lengthy post on his Facebook page following his ‘unexpected and scary’ ordeal at the South American Games which he attended earlier this month in Paraguay.

In a13-paragraph statement dubbed ‘Our Sportsmen and Women Deserve Better’, Allicock articulated that local athletes are deserving of ‘basic yet fundamental privileges’ which are not afforded.
